Cousine Island

In the clear, tropical waters of the Indian Ocean, one thousand miles away from the African mainland, lies a secret paradise rarely experienced outside of the world of fantasy. Adorned with lush palms and vibrant vegetation, this pristine granitic slice of heaven marks one of the few destinations on the planet where the miracle of nature thrives and man in all his curious wonder is a simple and silent observer.

Spanning less than thirty hectares, Cousine Island is no mere tropical getaway to be found in a holidaymaker’s magazine; it is a personalised and intimate adventure, a secluded moment of reflection and the ultimate expression of romance and beauty, naturally formed to captivate the heart and re-engage the soul.

Accommodation:

Re-imagine boutique luxury on Cousine Island with an intimate complement of four private and homely French colonial Luxury Villas and a magnificent Presidential Villa within a few steps from the island’s famous sugary white stretch of beach. Each villa provides an unparalleled sense of seclusion, comfort, and romance to their visitors, making Cousine the perfect boutique private island experience for those seeking privacy and escapism.

Conservation:

The magnificent Cousine Island journey gives guests an opportunity to learn more about the island’s native vegetation and wildlife. You can take part in our conservation programmes by planting trees and tracking endangered species of animals and birds, or releasing baby Hawskbill and Green turtle hatchlings. This truly is a rare and enchanting experience that is certain to move and inspire you to your very core while making you feel a deeper connection with Mother Nature. Guests can leave their mark on Cousine Island by adopting and rescuing an Aldabara giant tortoise to release during their stay. Those who do not wish to get involved directly in the island’s initiatives, still support our programmes by simply staying and enjoying her beauty and hospitality.
